FRANK BAYLAY, a

Be it lmownl that I,

Great Britain, re-

subject of the King of sidmg at Newton, in the Province of British Columbia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stock-Indicators, of which the following is a S eciication.

his invention relates to stock indicators the same being especially designed for use the like, enabling the housekeeper or servant to keep track of articles which have run out so that a new order may be readily and easily made up without any opportunity of overlooking any article which has been consumed.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as herein described, illustrated and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings 4 Figure 1 is a front elevation of the stock indicator of this invention.

-the hne 2 2 ing frame 3 rectangular Fi 2 is a fragmentary vertical section on of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a fra entary vertical section on the line 3 3 o Fig. 1.

Fig. 4: is a horizontal section on the line 4 4 `of Fig. 1.

Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view of one of the sliding anels.

The body o the stock indicator contemplated in this invention comprises a front wall 1, a rear wall 2, and a marginal spacin sha andacorresponding to and lying flush with the side, top and bottom edges of the indicator.

In addition to the marginal spacing frame 3, horizontally extendin Spacing or division strips 4 are inte between the front and back walls'of the indicator and also a central vertical division strip `5, the strips 4 being arranged horizontally and in spaced parallel relation to each 5 being arranged perpendicularly to the stri s 4.

e front wall 1 is formed with two columns of display onings 6 in line with the spaces remaining tween adjoining paralother and the strip' lel horizontal division strips 4. At one side of each of the columns of displayopenings 6 is another column 7 containing the names of the articles to be kept in stock such as iour, sugar, rice, etc., each column 7 also containing horizontally extendin slots 8 Athe pug ose of which will present y appear.

idingly mounted in each of the horizontally extending spaces defined by the horizontal spacing strips 6 is a panel 9 preferably colored red or some other distinguishing color having represented thereon a word of advice' such as Wanted or Out. At one end each panel 9 is provided with an operating handle 10 shown in the form of a iinger or tongue extending from the panel outwardly through the corresponding slot 8 where v1t may be grasped between th'e ngers and pushed toward either end of the slot thereby displaying or concealing the panel 9. The handle 10 also forms 1n comunetion with the opposite extremities of the respective slot 8 a stop for. limiting .the back and :forth movements of the panel. This enables the panel to be fully displayed in the respective -opening 6 or to be entirely concealed under the column containing the names of the various articles, shown in the accompanyin drawings.

The device hereinabove escribed will be found valuable and-useful to-housekeepers and others where a large number of articles must necessarily be handled and will avoid the running out of articles necessary 1n avery dayr use and also enable a list of articles needed to be quickly made up.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A sack indicator comprising@ front van,
